The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is a sea turtle that can be found in shallow, warm waters off the coast of nearly every continent, aside from Antarctica. Named for the sharp, pointed beak that resembles the beak of a bird of prey, this turtle can be easily identified from others, such as the green turtle. A migratory, species, the hawksbill travels miles within the seas, but always returns to its place of birth to breed and lay its own eggs. Unfortunately, the trip from the beach to the ocean is a dangerous adventure for newborn hawksbill turtles. The hawksbill is listed as “Critically Endangered” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
